Tartan & Thistle Hut Company is a family-run business based in the Scottish Highlands, specialising in the design and construction of bespoke shepherd's huts, cabins, garden rooms, and outdoor saunas. With a team boasting over 35 years of combined experience in carpentry, joinery, and bespoke interior fitting, including work on listed buildings and historic churches, the company brings a rich heritage of craftsmanship to every build. Inspired by a passion for quality design and a desire for meaningful work, they create luxury, handcrafted spaces that blend rustic charm with modern comfort, built to last and designed for year-round use.
Utilising sustainably sourced timber and eco-friendly insulation from their off-grid workshop in the Highlands, Tartan & Thistle focuses on creating durable, high-quality structures. Their offerings are versatile, serving as peaceful retreats, guest accommodation, wellness spaces, artist studios, or income-generating holiday rentals. The company emphasizes a sustainable approach, ensuring nothing goes to waste by crafting smaller handmade items from surplus materials.
They aim to provide a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to traditional home extensions, with many builds not requiring planning permission.
